“It was rewarding to work with so many bright, motivated people through the Bingham Fellows to create a framework for Louisville to take advantage of opportunities in sustainability."

Participants in the Bingham Fellows class shape their own experience.  Putting their advanced leadership skills into action, participants work in small groups to further explore the topic and implement solutions.  This process is peer-led and activities are peer-executed.  A Leadership Louisville Center program manager facilitates the experience.
